From reality to real-life rat

He was a “Mama’s Boy” with a starring role in a reality-TV show this time last year.

But these days, Anthony Zoccolillo is starring in a real-life Mafia drug case.

And he’s playing the role of informant.

Zoccolillo, 36, was identified yesterday in organized-crime online newsletter Gang Land as the man who wore a wire that secretly recorded the inner circle of a $2-million marijuana-distribution scheme.

The ring was allegedly run by Salvatore (Sally KO) Larca, a major player in the Bronx-based crew of powerful Genovese capo Ernest Muscarella.

Zoccolillo was one of five 30-something men from The Bronx featured in a TLC reality show called “Mama’s Boys.” All the men still lived with their mothers.

But when he was arrested last fall — after the show went off the air — on drug and weapons charges, he agreed to give up Larca in exchange for leniency, according to reports.

On the show, Zoccolillo identified himself as an aspiring cartoonist.

He wore a hidden recording device and caught Larca allegedly talking about plans to bring in two 500-pound shipments of pot from Northern California.

The high-quality pot ring was busted two weeks ago but the ex-reality star’s role was not made public until court papers were filed this week.

Zoccolillo follows another reality show player, Hector (Junior) Pagan, ex-husband of “Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano.

Pagan wore a wire to catch his father-in-law, a reputed Bonnano captain, in some incriminating conversations — at the same time Pagan was appearing on the VH1 reality show.
